I only nibbled on BSKY earlier this year and 140%. I threw more money in IONQ and SOUN at that time but missed on investing more in BSKY. Cant complain about the gains in IONQ though

I’ve bought a bunch of IPOs. If your broker offers shares, you need to register your indication of interest. Then you get an email the night before the IPO to confirm pricing. You aren’t guaranteed to get the shares or a portion of your requested allocation. Then you have to hold them according to the terms or if you sell they may take you off future IPOs. Fidelity has a three strike rule before you get banned.

I read I had to hold 30 days before selling or I get banned. Considering I have never bought an IPO I am not too worried about future trading.

IF a stock is tanking I will sell.

Can I simply buy through a different broker?

Rule of thumb for me is if I can get access to shares of an IPO then I don’t want them lol

It’s a good point LOL…I’ve had mediocre success with the IPOs I’ve actually requested and gotten. It’s the ones I requested and didn’t get that have performed the best.

Fidelity is usually 15 days before it’s considered flipping.

Cyber stocks down this morning due to ZS reporting mixed results.

Been on a great run though.

I did buy a small amount of CARL CEPT is a SPAC and my experience with SPACs has been to not touch it until all the shares have been distributed. There is tremendous dilution that happens with SPACs when they start trading. SOFI was a victim of it for a long time.

Good thoughts on SPACs. I bought CEPT, but only 1/4 position, so I can add after the merger is completed. I also added XNDU and INFQ to my YOLO stock basket. :)

MRVL was down 4.5% during market. Up 8ish% at one point in extended on earnings, but up now around 1.76%.

This all on the heels of a 150ish% run off March lows.

SNPS also down a little on earnings.

Need to see what the Linkster says about these earnings as I followed her into each.

I think LABU looks to be in a pretty good spot here.

Ran up into resistance, consolidated, broke through resistance and is now settling back to that level as support.

MRVL currently up 3%.

Sellers said "let's take profits" buyers said "thank you very much".

SNPS down slightly.

Don't love the chart. Might take profits here and revisit down the road.

I have MDB up 10%. Probably riding the coat tails of SNOW.

Seems the software trade is split. If the company is a data play = good. If the company is collaboration/orchestration/other = likely bad.

I should have spent more time on Datadog. It’s up like 100 points in a month. Could have more room to run if this data trend continues.

CEPT is becoming one of my largest spec plays. If I was not so risk averse I would be buying hand over fist based on tokenization potential. But I’m a bit weary of the pre-merger period as anything can happen.

plus, slightly gun shy after jumping into DXYZ only to have the company announce $1B share offering. Fortunately MU makes up for that loss but still annoys the F out of me. Also bought small allocation of LUNR and 20 min later Blue Origin scored a Gov’t deal LOL

S and ZS always underperform!

Malcolm Ethridge, who seems pretty solid on the halftime said ZS selloff was a big over reaction. He bought it.

im looking. Does seem to be at potential support.

S has been a thorn in my side for a couple years.
